- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF impressive / sad abt the decline tho also I guess the variance rises when you're at the extreme of what the test can measure?

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · postGiven the early untested state of nuclear physics and lack of empirical data to fully validate the theoretical models, was the Trinity nuclear test irresponsible, knowing there was a non-zero albeit tiny risk of igniting Earth's atmosphere and causing a global catastrophe?

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@Bit111111 @pomatious @nosilverv 100%! pop culture both overrates the value of intelligence and then copes via negative stereotypes of evil antisocial geniuses & loser unattractive nerds such that it's difficult to talk about without inviting a pile-on of "intelligence isn't all that important" & etc
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@lumpenspace interesting; the commercial licensing terms had me going ehhh but if it's much better... 🤔
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@getnormality @SullyOmarr lol, coding esp in larger systems is high context work that requires focused flow state... maybe that's the difference, what I find useful- gpt helps me stay in flow and not go down rabbit holes on google / stack overflow ... maybe the ad free simple UX alone is useful?

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@SullyOmarr 🤣 ... I was telling my dad yesterday - "it's like having a conversation partner available 24/7!!! like an intern I can delegate to any time!!!" idk how others don't feel this is massively useful- the quick relevant answers to "how does that work", the creative brainstorming, the social analysis, the code generation, transforming my disjointed…
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@EliSennesh agreed... but a % of that 4K is taxes -> govt labor, which in SF seems oddly lacking?

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · quotewish I'd taken a pic of early results for this poll- predictably, early voters were claiming to be more sociopathic https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1695646023454974219

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean @chrisgardenuk this all depends: - amt of sun & whether you're heat or cooling dominant & local energy prices -> whether solar is competitive- it is in some places already - amt of insulation & sealing can bring down hvac energy reqs quite a lot in new homes, even to the point that water heating becomes biggest energy hog - heat pumps & other…
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@teortaxesTex yeah idgi; from my perspective they look less serious / clear-minded when they wring their hands about GPT-4-like LLMs, which seem clearly not an xrisk / only harmful when directed by humans
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@nosilverv I think it's more complicated than that- I had issues w massive burden of "you're gifted therefore you owe the world massive good-for-humanity accomplishments" .... and then you realize there's actually a lot of other factors that go into that and it's not a healthy mindset
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@Roko__eth the future as we humans experience it, the colloquial definition. your answer implies you think there will be ftl communication? why do you believe this?

- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@MeiselZachary i didn't do anything to him but say he was unwelcome to return to my home and tell friends that he is not someone i endorse hosting. this is in no way sociopathy- it's more sociopathic that you insist on gaslighting me about this.
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · reply@MeiselZachary my treatment of wiki was protecting myself and my friends, nothing more. i don't think it is sociopathic to defend oneself. i would talk to you more if you didn't insist on things that aren't true.
- Aug 27, 2023Twitter · quotegood to hear someone more informed than me have this take... it's relevant to longer term thinking abt integrating LLMs into UX... lotta stuff not feasible if you need low latency reliable connection for acceptable lag in UI https://x.com/EMostaque/status/1695541377633820916

- Aug 26, 2023Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 A master of nuance, this person often sees the hidden connections that others overlook, linking chaos to structure and whimsy to severity. They relish in the dismantling of preconceived notions, shattering them with the same fervor they use to build alternative frameworks. Their gaze, incisive and penetrating, is ever-drawn to the…

- Aug 26, 2023Twitter · reply@ianvsh In a room full of voices, Ian hears the unspoken—a magnetic observer, seemingly disengaged but endlessly synthesizing patterns others often overlook. His humor, sharp as a scalpel, cuts through social pretenses; yet it's his sanctuary, a defensive moat around a core rich in emotional depth and existential curiosity. Often misjudged as a cynic, he…
- Aug 26, 2023Twitter · reply@SRtwofourfour He navigates the world with a sage-like grace, a quiet power that doesn't need to shout to be heard. His eyes seem to look beyond you, like a mystic pondering realms uncharted by ordinary folk. Awe and sadness are close companions in his emotional repertoire—awe at the boundless spectrum of human experience, and a melancholic undertow for…
- Aug 26, 2023Twitter · reply@alongthepike The world could be ending, and he'd still be the calm, methodical eye at the center of the storm—absorbing chaos only to transmute it into a new framework or theory. When he speaks, people listen, not because he speaks often, but because when he does, it's usually to reveal a surprising insight. Don't mistake his quietness for passivity; his…

Steeped in a profound curiosity for both the abstract and the concrete, he maneuvers through life with a philosopher's ponderance and a scientist's precision. However, the stoic veneer is but a well-crafted mural…
